Ever felt like your wedding day was just a blur of events? You've spent months, if not years, planning for a single day, but when the day comes, you find yourself worrying about the tiny details instead of savouring the moments. Hi, I'm Emily Decloux, and I was in your shoes once. But guess what? I figured out how to stay present on my wedding day and enjoy every bit of it, including dealing with last-minute hitches and managing anxiety. And in this first episode of our series, I'm going to share with you the five practical ways I used to stay present throughout my wedding day.

Here's a sneak peek of what you'll learn. I share how visualizing every part of the day, even the smallest moments, can ground you and help you remain present. I talk about the importance of accepting that things will go wrong, and how to handle those moments without spiralling into panic. With my 10 years of event planning experience, I've got plenty of advice to offer. So join me every Thursday for more tips and tricks to make planning your wedding day the joyous, memorable season it deserves to be!
